The TowerPro MG995 Metal Gear Servo Motor 180 Degree Rotation is a high-torque servo featuring full metal gears for demanding applications. It delivers significantly more torque than micro servos, making it ideal for larger robots, RC vehicles, and heavy-duty mechanisms.
Key features
- High torque output of 10-15 kg·cm at 6V
- Full metal gears for maximum durability
- 180-degree rotation with precise control
- Standard PWM control compatible with all servo libraries
- Dual ball bearing on output shaft
- Robust construction for heavy loads
- Standard servo size fits standard mounts
Good to know
- High current draw (500mA-1A) – use dedicated 5-6V power supply
- Arduino 5V pin cannot power MG995 – external supply required
- Metal gears are durable but noisy compared to nylon
- Connect signal wire to PWM pin, power to external supply
- Add decoupling capacitor (100μF) near servo power pins
